ISS Expedition 43 - Unknown maker - "Lonchakov"

Expedition 43 is scheduled to be the 43rd expedition to the International Space Station.

Yury Lonchakov resigned from the Russian federal space agency. This patch closely resembles the A-B Emblem version, however it has some subtle differences. It is presumed it was made to take advantage of the large sums of money paid for the A-B Emblem version (> $400).

An easy identifier is the lack of black stitching in the background of the Earth. The directional stitching of the "43" shading also differs.

This version was sold on eBay, sourced from Russia.
